Utah State Route 7
State Route 7 (SR-7), also known as Southern Parkway, is a state highway in the extreme southwestern portion of the U.S. state of Utah, currently linking the southern periphery of St George to southeastern St George. The first portion of the freeway opened 7 July 2009, a link between exit 2 at I-15 south of Bloomington (a suburb within the city of St. George) to River Road in south east St. George spanning 4 miles (6.4 km). It is the southern portion of a two-phase beltway around St. George. The second portion was completed in November 2010, extending further east to the new St. George Municipal Airport. The highway is eventually planned to extend 26 miles (41.8 km) northeast—as a four-lane freeway—to Hurricane, although initially there will be some at-grade intersections. These will be converted to interchanges as traffic volumes warrant.

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or route:
“And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain,
I’ll state my case of which I’m certain.
I’ve lived a life that’s full, I traveled each and ev’ry highway,
And more, much more than this. I did it my way.”
—Frank Sinatra (b. 1915)
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
